Add to album
This white glazed earthenware figure of a goat was possibly made at one of the potteries at Prestonpans in East Lothian. It dates from the early 19th century.
The goat is standing on a rocky pedestal.
From 1750 onwards, large-scale potteries were established on the south side of the Firth of Forth, at Prestonpans, Prestongrange, West Pans, Musselburgh and Portobello. Much of the skilled workforce came from the older established Staffordshire potteries and consequently much of the pottery was similar to contemporary Staffordshire ware.
